Ingredients
Cake Batter:
1 1/4 cups cake flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cardamom
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Rhubarb Compote:
2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Cardamom Frosting:
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon cardamom
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
- For the cake batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
- Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk, oil, vanilla extract and eggs and mix until smooth and completely combined.
- Pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bake until golden brown and risen, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
- For the rhubarb compote: In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the water is absorbed and the rhubarb softens. Set aside to cool.
- For the cardamom frosting: In a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer, cream the butter. Add the confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup at a time and mix until completely smooth. Mix in the cardamom and vanilla extract.
- To assemble: Remove the centers of each cupcake using a paring knife. Fill each with some of the rhubarb compote and frost with the cardamom frosting. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
